Best YA Books 2014

1. Best Book You Read In 2014?

I read a lot of great books this year, so I had to pick my top three instead of just one. I also re-read, The Fault in Our Stars, which is one of my favorite books of all time, but I decided to choose books I hadn't read before.

2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn't?

God, this book was such a disappointment. It had the potential to be incredible, but I ending up hating the main character and the entire plot progression.

3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read in 2014?

This book was surprisingly magnificent. I had anticipated reading a pleasant, fluffy, YA Comtemporary love story. But it was a life-ruiner! Deeply movingly and utterly unforgettable.

4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did) In 2014?

I work at a bookstore, so I'm constantly pushing books on people. But The Winner's Curse was the book I made the most people, including multiple friends and cousins, buy and read. And I'm sure they were all completely grateful.

5. Best series you started in 2014? Best Sequel of 2014? Best Series Ender of 2014?

Best Series Starter:Snow Like Ashes or Mistborn.
Best Sequel:Cress by Marissa Meyer. This series just gets better and better with every book.
Best Series Ender:City of Heavenly Fire was one of my most anticipated books of 2014, and it did not disappoint. An incredible ending to one of my most beloved series.

6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2014?

I discovered and fell in love with Jennifer L. Armentrout this year. Her writing may not be world-altering, but her stories are amusing as hell and never disappoint.

7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone?

I almost never read historical fiction, but this book was hands down one of the most compelling and interestingly written books I've read in my entire life. Everyone should read it; and I apologize ahead of time for the "I'm dead inside" feeling you will have while reading most of the book.

8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?

This book was so freakin' incredible, I cannot even express it. And I couldn't stop reading it--to the point where I kept sneaking into the break room at my work to read a couple pages.

9. Book You Read In 2014 That You Are Most Likely To Re-Read Next Year?

Let's face it, you did steal me. But you saved my life too. And somwhere in the middle, you showed me a place so different and beautiful, I can never get it out of my mind. And I can't get you out of there either. You're stuck in my brain like my own blood vessels.
